The sprouting jars

Shruti sent this as a voice note. The whole method is built around one thing: soak them in the jar you'll sprout them in, so there's less washing up. The rhythm is the actual recipe — soak Saturday morning, let them sprout across Saturday and Sunday, and there's a fresh batch for Monday to Friday.

Ingredients

  • 1 handfulmethi
  • 2 handfulsmug

Method · 10 min hands-on · 2 days waiting

  1. Put them straight into the jars you're going to sprout them in. Not a sufariyo first — going straight into the jar means less vasan.
  2. Wash three times.
  3. Soak in water for at least two or three hours. This part isn't optional; it's what gets the acid out.
  4. Drain that water. Put in clean water. Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and leave it in the cupboard — a few hours, or overnight.
  5. The next day, drain the water off completely. Back in the cupboard, no water, kitchen towel loosely on top.
  6. Keep checking on them, and shake the jars. They'll sprout.

Straight in the jar. Less vasan. That's the whole reason.
